Federating European Electronics Ecosystems for Competitive Electronics Industries

Project description

Federating European electronics ecosystems for a competitive Europe

Digitalisation has boosted automation and innovation across industries globally. Additionally, it has spurred intense competition within the vital electronics sector. In light of this economic conflict, decision-makers are formulating long-term European objectives and policies to enhance European competitiveness and value. The EU-funded 5E project seeks to contribute to this objective by supporting and prioritising the European electronics industry, uniting its ecosystems and facilitating the pursuit of new prospects. To accomplish this, 5E’s federation will foster collaboration and cross-pollination, all while implementing essential meta-roadmaps aligned with regional policies and digitalisation.

Objective

In view of the fierce global competition, decision makers in Europe acknowledge challenges that the electronics industry faces. The launch of large-scale investments and support measures to drive innovation, such as ECSEL, PENTA, IPCEI, are an important step in strengthening this key sector of the economy. Europe needs to define long-term visions and strategies for the whole European electronics industry in order to keep its competitive edge and foster value creation. A major contribution is currently ongoing with the revision of the EC strategy on electronics, which will be taken into account in the proposed project. At the same time, digitisation of industry and society is a megatrend that urgently requires electronics as the hardware building blocks complementing and interacting with other areas like software, communications, computing, robotics and photonics. 5E will underpin digitisation, and support specifically the electronics industry in seizing opportunities by federating – not merging – the 3 European electronics ecosystems. Federation will be achieved by developing a joint vision based on the state of play and focusing on interfaces, as well as on opportunities for collaboration and cross-fertilisation. A technology and application meta-roadmap will be elaborated and implemented in the 3 electronics areas, in application sectors, in the areas of digitisation, as well as on the European and regional policy levels. Dedicated actions will further reinforce cooperation and outreach across Europe - in all relevant value chains, sectors, areas and target groups – and at the international level. Targeted actions reach out to EU projects, large industry, SMEs, start-ups, demand-side, users and wider public, and include a toolbox, digital library and showcase as well as a contest. 7 influential partners with deep technological and methodological expertise join forces and are supported by 37 Associated Partners (industry, demand-side, digitisation, regions).
